Otisburg posted:What are good sources for 3rd party asteroid/debris tokens? Well Team Covenant just released their own set which I've been emailed about since I ordered a set of movement and range templates from them. I've got no problems with the templates I bought from them so I guess their obstacle tokens should be the same quality?

This thread inspired me to play XXX at my local regionals today. My list was : Luke Skywalker -Adaptability -R2-D2 -Integrated Astromech Wes Janson -Veteran Instincts -R3-A2 -Integrated Astromech Wedge Antilles -Predator -Proton Torpedoes -Guidance chips. Went alright, 2-2. one modified loss 36-29, two 100-0s for me, and one 100-32. Could have easily taken the last one and made the top 4 cut, but I made some pretty bad decisions in that game.

Until a couple months into the game, my friend and I seriously thought that you only had one of each token to use for the entirety of the game. You actually get to use one every time you don't land on an obstacle or have stress.

Iceland's not a big place. I think the largest ever X-Wing tournament here was 18. And it was four rounds of swiss, going into the fourth round I was 2-1 with two 100-0s.

On a Focus note, using the token changes all eyeball results to a standard hit, or an evade depending on which dice you're rolling.

Depending on how deep into the game you want to get, and/or how good you are at judging distances with your eye, it can help to just slam 6 asteroids on a table and try out various maneuvers. (I should still do this, as I am awful at judging distances and constantly mess up how far I want to turn or move.) If you don't wanna do that or don't have room at home, this helps with a lot of nice pictures. https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/110115-earning-your-wings-a-guide-for-understanding-movment/ And this might be diving too deep into the math of the game for you, but The Gate did a nice write up about actions in this thread https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3657860&pagenumber=505&perpage=40#post459301347 Beyond that, don't be intimidated by red maneuvers on your dial or intentionally doing something risky like going over a rock if you can get a great shot. Surprise aggression can be a great thing. And this is with all dice games, but sometimes the dice just hate you or love your opponent. And especially for learning, just try and have a shot every turn, even if your ship gets blown up before you actually take it. This will better help you learn how keep the enemy in arc, and so you don't end up playing a game where you are just running away 90% of it and you do a whole lot of nothing for most of it. I'm not brand new but this is something I need to work badly at.  And speaking of your ship being blown up, if they have the same pilot skill, remember that you can shoot that round still.

Any advice, or things that everyone forgets their first couple of times? In addition to what everyone said so far, ships who bump into each other can't shoot each other, but they can shoot other ships. Also, don't forget the extra red die when shooting at range 1 or the extra green die when defending at range 3 (this only applies to Primary Weapon attacks, the red number on the pilot card. Not Secondary Weapons, e.g. cannons, missiles, and torpedoes.) On a different note, after watching TFA again I noticed that the TIE/sf has Magnetic Pulse Warheads.This might have been discussed before, but IF we see it in Wave 9, having a weapon that causes a Blinded Pilot status on ships will make some games pretty drat interesting.

To be more precise, ships touching in the combat phase can't target one-another. If a ship bumps into the back of a higher skill pilot who then moves away, it can shoot the ship it bumped.

I still kind of want to try Arvel Crynyd with Intimidation. The problem is that she can't focus when she bumps, so can't Procket someone she's touching without someone else handing her a focus.

TTS LEAGUE MEMBERS start thinking about the lists you want to use for next week. Please send them to me as you send the results of your game, if possible. If you've already finished your games, at your earliest convenience before Sunday. I'm going to get next week's schedule up hopefully by Saturday night, and I'd like to have most or all lists in by then.

Well, first time I had my Defender and a pair of lovely TIEs, he had Poe and Luke. the TIEs did nothing, the Defender did everything. I lost. Second game, Poe and Luke vs my Mauler, Night Beast, Dark Curse and Zeta Ace. Like, 10 turns in, nobody is dead, Poe and Luke are shieldless, and half my ties are damaged. I'm K Turning every chance I get, line up some loving rad shots, and nothing. We gave up, gonna try again.

Yeah, Poe and Luke is a team that four Ties are gonna have a hard time with, first order or no first order. Those two little shits are a pain in the rear end to kill with only two red dice. If only there was something that hit a little... harder... [unrelated promos for the TIE Interceptor, Darth Vader in the TIE x1 with advanced targeting computer, and TIE Phantom go here]

Paired with a TLT on something or a supporting ship to help put down some hurt, it's hilarious. You could use Squad Leader, Garven Dreis, or Airen Cracken if you REALLY want to get those prockets going, but I found hunting aces to be just as fun without it.

I wonder how well Fat Han and Miranda would perform in a meta dominated by U-Boats and Palp Aces. Liberal use of Miranda's SLAM and Han's Engine Upgrade would be able to control ranges and arcs against U-Boats pretty well, and I think even with Palpatine, Aces would struggle against Gunner. I'm tempted to give this list a ago: Han Solo (46) Predator (3) C-3PO (3) Gunner (5) Engine Upgrade (4) Miranda Doni (29) Twin Laser Turret (6) Tactician (2) Advanced SLAM (2) Total: 100 Thoughts?

Endman posted:I wonder how well Fat Han and Miranda would perform in a meta dominated by U-Boats and Palp Aces. This is very similar to the list I've been meaning to try out! Mine's below: quote:Han Solo — YT-1300 46 Haven't tried it out yet (see post above), although I think the combination of Han+Miranda would be fairly survivable. The main different between ours being you having Pred+Tactician, while I opted for Jan Ors (to give both Han and Miranda evades, instead of just buying the MF title - thought it was a better deal overall) and proxy mines - however that's mostly just because I couldn't think of what else to add, other than upgrading Adaptability to Predator, like you did. Anyway, I'd be interested to see how your list goes. I was thinking about making my list more similar to what yours turned out to be, but I just can't resist the opportunity of SLAMing past an enemy ace and dropping a proxy mine on them/in front of them. EDIT: Oh, but yeah, mine's more aimed towards general survivability, as opposed to being able to take on JumpMasters - I haven't really had any experience going up against those, at this stage.
